SMITH
William Bakely Smith was born 1893 in Phil. PA. He enrolled in the NY Militia in 1917 as William Blakely Watson. In 1919 he married Emma Jane Jones in Delhi, NY and listed his name as William Bakely Smith. His father as George Curtis Smith born in Camden, NJ. and mother as Louise Montangue or Montangeu. William is my fathers oldest sibling. I would guess that George would have been born about ca 1865-1870. They moved to Passiac County, Paterson, NJ. and in 1895 had John Watson? seven more children were born. They listed themselves as being born in NJ or NY. Not sure why the name changes could be divorce, death or running away from something. Every document I have lists the mother with a different name. Montangue, Montanel, Wilson, Smith, Watson Hyzer. First names Laura, Louisa, Louise, Emily Louise. Fathers names George Curtis Smith, John Smith, John Watson. Also have been told that their real name was Marples.

My grandfather, Henry Conway (b.July 06, 1894 d. October 07, 1965), was supposedly born in Dublin, Ireland and became an orphan when he came to the US around the age of 6 (no one knows anything about his parents, he may have been an orphan when he arrived).

His first wife was Anna Toole (d. 1924) with whom he had one child - Teresa Marie (b. 1921) and his second wife was Ellen Marie Ryan (b. March 21, 1891, d. December 25, 1981) with whom he had another child (Elizabeth Mary b. 1934). I would appreciate suggestions on how to research him. I'm not sure where to start. I've already sent for his ss application, and parents and birthplace he marked unknown. I sent to Dublin for a birth certificate, but have not received anything yet.
